Thanks John Edwards I recommend that someone be elected to act as the order taker. Orders should be accompanied by address and phone info. I also recommend that the orders be prepaid, so that the order taker doesn't incur a large risk if it all falls apart. Actually, I'm getting ahead of myself, too. How's this for the steps to follow: 1. Designate someone to handle design. Set up a way to post proposed designs on the MSOG. 2. Once a design is settled on, get a firm, inclusive price for shirts. 3. Take orders over a set period of time. I assume the order would be exact, with no additional shirts made as a leftover inventory. Otherwise, someone has to carry the costs of the addition shirts, be it supplier, organization, or volunteering individual. 4. Have the shirts made, and mail them out all at once. This will cut down the hassle factor, which should make the shirts cheaper, the service more reliable. 5. Monty sailors all over the country rejoice in their new tee-shirts! Let me know what you think. Steve Tyree
